Description
Description:
Box 13 ArtSpace presents screenings of The Last Conquistador, Saturday, November 22, 10am-6pm.
Curated by: Crystal Benavides.
The Last Conquistador, directed by J. Valdez and Cristina Ibarra will be featured at BOX 13 ArtSpace on November 22, 2008 as a component to 16th Annual Artist's Warehouse ArtCrawl,.
The first screening will begin at 10:00 a.m. and run continuously in two-hour intervals with the last showing starting at 6:00 p.m.
Exhibition space is an ever-changing traditionally white canvas that can display an array of, but not limited to, social ideologies, automatism, sound, objects and contemporary thought.
Exhibition spaces overlapped a full spectrum of mediums and have become an uninhibited exhibition free-for-all.
John Valdez and Christina Ibarra's documentary The Last Conquistador is a reflective insight into art, a silent extravaganza of conflict, narcissism and social responsibility.
When the renowned sculptor, John Houser, began creating a monument to the Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñata for the city of El Paso, it was supposed to be a little larger than life size. But he secretly harbored a dream: to build the largest bronze equestrian statue ever created in human history.
Cloistered away in a remote and forgotten corner of Mexico City, John and his son Ethan worked endlessly for ten years crafting an exquisite and foreboding icon. To some, it is magnificent, alluring and seductive, a fitting tribute to the extraordinary contribution Hispanic people have made to the building of the American west.
It is a history that they felt has often been maligned or ignored by mainstream historians. To others it is a frightful reminder of a time when the sword and the cross were used to decimate those who would defy the will of the Spanish crown.
THIS FILM IS FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
